Cicero Divorce Lawyers

Family Law Firm Serving Clients in Cook County

According to the Holmes-Rahe Stress Inventory, a divorce is the second most stressful life event that a person is ever likely to experience. Only the death of a spouse or child ranks higher on the list. Despite this, thousands of Illinois residents get divorced every year, including many in Cicero and Cook County.

At Wakenight & Associates, P.C., we know how difficult the process of a divorce can be, and we are equipped to help. With more than 95 years of combined experience in the practice of family law, our attorneys can help you manage the avalanche of practical, emotional, logistical, spousal, parental, custodial, financial, and legal factors that could be affecting your divorce.

Managing the Avalanche in Cicero

The attorneys at Wakenight & Associates, P.C. practice solely in the area of divorce and family-related legal matters. Our goal is to provide trusted guidance and skilled representation to our clients at every stage of the divorce process. We will work with you in dividing your marital assets and debts, as well as in making arrangements for parental responsibilities (child custody) and parenting time (visitation) if you and your spouse have children together.

At our firm, we understand that you are probably worried about how you will be able to afford life after a divorce. If you and your spouse were just getting by financially, the thought of making it on your own could be overwhelming. Fortunately, there may be help available. Our lawyers will work with you in exploring your options for requesting maintenance or alimony in your divorce. Maintenance awards are relatively common in cases involving stay-at-home parents, homemakers or where one spouse earns substantially more than the other. If you have children, you may be eligible to receive child support payments as well. We will do everything possible to ensure you have the financial resources you need to move forward with your life.
